5 Ground Shaking Unspoken Ways a Clean Home Immediately Affects Your Life - Backed by Developmental Psychology
READ THIS FIRST!
Someone should have told you about the psychology of your environment.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU CLASSIFY A BETTER LIFE TO BE, after reading this, you will be 5 steps closer to achieving it.
You will understand not only the benefits of a clean home, but how you can tailor your home to be your most powerful tool.
I’ll explain this as quickly as possible, YOU ARE AN ADAPTIVE CREATURE. Yet you’re still trying to use mere will power to get things done. And it’s just an unnecessary struggle.
You have a natural tendency to adapt to your environment. Would you agree the way that you were raised, morphed you into the person you are now?
That’s because your body, brain and mind, are adaptation masters, it’s practically how we survive.
YOUR HOME, is an environment you spend a great deal of time in. The TV may act as a distraction in your living room. PLUS, you have a nice couch or sofa right in front of the TV, perhaps you even have a gaming console on display, a small coffee table too. It’s like your living room is designed for relaxation and entertainment! That’s because it is, you have it that way.
HERE IS A WAY YOU CAN MAKE AN IMMEDIATE CHANGE TO YOUR SLEEP QUALITY;
Your bedroom is a place for sleep, but do you have your phone placed on the bedside table? Is there anything in your bedroom that may distract you, I hope you don’t have a TV in there. Yes you may fall asleep to these things, but did anyone ever tell you that you shouldn’t be completing any activities in the place you sleep in?
Anyway, things like your mood, emotion, the way you feel, are actually heavily affected by the way your home is set out.
Also, the ease of access to junk food, TV and phone may be things you want to make more difficult to access. You may wish to put a bowl of fresh fruit on the kitchen bench, a stack of books in the living room, or even some dumbbells in the living room. Whatever is popping out and easy to have access to, is what you are more likely to do.
But what about a Clean Home? Well here is the first benefit of a clean home:
Benefit 1 - Clean Mind
A clean and tidy home will lead to a clean and tidy mind. Your mind and your habits are a direct response to your environment. Clutter and dirt are a great way to fog up your mind, so by having a home you know is clean and tidy, you are essentially forcing your mind to be clean and tidy.
This leads me to my next point,
Benefit 2 - Decision Making
A clear mind allows you to make clear decisions. There is some sort of magical element to clutter, that blocks you from making clear decisions.
A clean environment will allow you to have clarity with your thoughts and emotions, key elements of decision making.
You make on average 35,000 decisions in one day, and let us not forget, the decisions you make have profound impact on the way your life turns out.
Whether it be results, enjoyment, happiness or relationships, the right decisions are the real movers in life.
Benefit 3 - No Need for Coffee
Clear mind - Clear Decisions - MORE MENTAL ENERGY!
If you weren’t aware, every time you make a decision, you use up energy. Every time you have to search for something in your home, you are using energy. Every time a cluttered person makes a decision and then changes their mind, energy is being gulped up unnecessarily.
There is not much to say about this, because the dots connect. Cluttered minds make poorer decisions, that leads to wasted energy, leaving you feeling tired.
Benefit 4 - STRESS! Goes Away :)
When you sit on your sofa, you should feel stress free and relaxed. But maybe you’re not feeling that way, maybe you’re feeling somewhat incomplete, somewhat unsatisfied.
When your home is tidy and clean, there is nothing to be done, just relax. Pretty self-explanatory, yet so many people lose this battle and build up stress and a bad mood.
You will drastically reduce your stress levels by keeping your home clean, you will feel way better. Stress from work or running a business or side hustle even, will not be toppled on by more stress when you’re chilling in your own home. Make your home stress FREE!
Benefit 5 - Increased Results
Put all these benefits together, and your end result is an improved living. TRUST ME, you feeling better, feeling less stressed, better mood and more energy, shapes your mind to become more effective in life activities.
Life is essentially comprised of problem solving, a clear mind, an upbeat mood, increased energy, are powerful contributors to your cognitive problem solving abilities.
You will become more creative, leading you to new ideas, potentially for business or just for improving your lifestyle. Your productivity levels will SKY ROCKET.
So as you improve your environment, you improve your mind, which leads you to improving your results in life.
